Last week the band released the video for the track ‘Black As The Sky’ which can be viewed below.

‘Kaleidoscope’ is available on four different formats, including a limited edition Deluxe Artbook with 2CDs, DVD and Bonus 5.1 Mix DVD-Video in an LP-sized book with loads of pictures, liner notes and a lenticular card cover. There will also be 2CD & DVD Mediabook, Standard 2CD Jewelcase and a 3LP & 2CD in slipcase. The full tracklisting for both discs can be found below:

The band will embark on a 6-week World Tour that will see them joined by Ted Leonard of Spock’s Beard/Enchant. He will be replacing Pain of Salvation’s Daniel Gildenlöw as a 5th touring member for the first half, due to Daniel’s recent illness. As part of the extensive tour, the band will also headline the Progressive Nation At Sea 2014 Cruise from the 18th till the 22nd February alongside 22 other leading Prog acts including Adrian Belew Power Trio, Devin Townsend Project, King’s X, Anathema, Spock’s Beard and many more. This unique performance will see the band performing a very special encore of classic Yes material with the legendary Jon Anderson on vocals. You can find more details on PN14 here.
